2004 University Professors' Masonry
Workshop
Raleigh, North Carolina
March 7-9, 2004
The
2004 University Professors’ Masonry Workshop (UPMW) has been scheduled to be held at
North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina from March 7-9, 2004. The
workshop is designed to assist architectural and engineering educators who teach masonry
courses or hope to incorporate masonry courses or portions of courses into their
curriculum. Topics discussed at the workshop will include educational issues in general, how individual professors
teach masonry, course curricula at various universities, masonry materials, codes
and standards, detailing, and performance. As in past
workshops, separate tracks for architectural and engineering issues will be featured. In
addition, another track dedicated to Construction Management is also being considered if
sufficient interest is expressed. A hands-on demonstration will allow attendees to
try laying brick and concrete masonry, and to see how reinforcement, flashing, ties and
anchors are placed in masonry walls. Attendees will also receive a comprehensive library
of masonry teaching aids and technical resources.

Also, as TMS prepares for
the Workshop, we are collecting course descriptions from professors currently presenting
masonry classes. If you do, and are willing to share this information with other
professors, please fill out the Course Introductory Sheet,
along with a sample course outline, and e-mail them to TMS.
In addition to the
workshop, two optional
half-day seminars may be offered after the workshop for professors interested in
focusing on masonry in more depth, as well as for local designers. If conducted, these
seminars will likely cover the Strength Design of Masonry and the Masonry Building
Envelope.
The University
Professors' Masonry Workshop is sponsored by:
and related industry partners including:
Individual sponsorship of
attendees is often available from local masonry groups.
Additional details on the UPMW will be printed in later issues of
TMS News and will be posted on the TMS website (www.masonrysociety.org) as soon as they
are available. For more information, contact TMS at
